Johnson Electric today announced an addition to its growing range of haptic actuator product for touch screen displays and surfaces.  Haptic feedback gives a user confirmation, through tactile sensations, that a selection has been made in any type of control system.  Launched under the Ledex-HA brand, the HA300 haptic actuator provides the highest G force rating with rapid response times for screens and displays > 375 mm in size.  The HA300 has a rated life of greater than 60 million cycles and acceleration to 20G.  The Ledex actuator has a low output frequency, which is ideally suited to human discernment and has controllable stimuli which allows for multiple haptic effects for different circumstances.

“Haptic feedback is emerging as an important factor for automotive and entertainment applications” said Jim Dick, Johnson Electric’s senior vice president of Strategic Marketing.  “As haptic technology develops, it can also be deployed in medical devices, business machines and industrial controls,” he added.

VANDALIA, OH, 03 April, 2012 – Johnson Electric today announced the Ledex B14-HD solenoid to expand its industry-leading product line. Utilizing innovative internal construction, this addition to the linear solenoid portfolio offers an attractive combination of force and life previously unavailable in the market. The B14-HD, released under the Ledex brand, offers a 30-times increase in operational life to reduce down time and service costs for high volume processing applications. This new product increases the force output by 50 percent in the same package size as the traditional B14 solenoid.

“The B14-HD solenoid fills a performance gap in industrial applications such as ATMs, point-of-sale terminals, beverage dispensing and locking systems,” said Jim Dick, Johnson Electric’s senior vice president of Strategic Marketing.

New Ledex® STA® 1.5 in. x 1.5 in. Pull Tubular solenoids from Johnson Electric deliver simple and reliable DC on/off operation with strokes up to 1.0 in. and holding force up to 9.7 lb (43.15 N) over 25 million cycles.  That’s performance that will help differentiate your next product from the competition.

Available with 12 and 24 VDC continuous and intermittent duty coils as standard, these solenoids satisfy most application needs without modification – even at a maximum operating temperature of 130°C.

Features include compact size to force output, a built-in air gap spacer to eliminate external components, and dry, lubricant-free operation that prevents residue buildup.

These solenoids are easily customized to satisfy extraordinary application needs.  Additional voltages are available upon request.
